Also, real hockey players seem to have very good grip and turning abilities.



That said, I do think hockey would be a very interesting game if played on maybe a white carpet. (refer to my post on page 15)

It could be baseball, but hat trick is an unofficial term.

It could be hockey, but there's no home runs.

Or... It could be cricket (no clue about home runs on cricket)

To keep with the ball pattern, hockey would be street hockey.


...or they could be screwing with our heads. Anyone else have any thoughts?

I think instead of a breakaway variant, kickball could be an overdrive variant, (actually, kickball or baseball), to have something similar to running the bases.

EDIT: could the "lots of moving parts that need to work together" mean another co-opertition aspect? If it's not that, then maybe it could refer to different types of game pieces instead of just 1 this year?

Oh man I can't be that old to the point that people don't recognize Who's On First, can I? So the original blog post had a Dr. Who reference. Someone on here mentioned that Who + First = Who's on First, which is an old Abbott and Costello skit involving baseball. It's a classic comedy routine.

Hat Trick: "three or more homeruns in a game" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick)

Again, three is a recurring theme

Yeah, my guess is that the hat trick is just another reference to the number 3. So there will be something with the game this year with 3. I'm not sure if it's referencing hockey or just the number three, since there have been a couple of references to baseball.
